My husband is Army and I'm prior Air Force. My vote is Air Force. It really depends on what he wants to do, career wise. I would suggest something he can use later on so he's not stuck with a ton of experience in a job that doesn't transfer to civilian jobs. I was an avionics tech on F-16's and am now able to work on any airframe which opens up a ton of opportunities.

Air Force has better quality of life, better bases and facilities, and we deploy less often and for shorter increments--unless he goes security forces. Hospitals tend to be better, the living conditions are better for families, the hours in general are way better. The cons are slower promotion at lower ranks, the same need to put up with bureaucratic BS, and less chance of cross-training if he doesn't get a good career field right away.

My husband and I met in the Army (same unit, during OIF I). We were both MPs. My advice is go Air Force!!! Not that I don't love the Army, but it's not the same Army as it was even eight years ago, and I am often glad I'm not the one who is still in, putting up with the bullcrap. I've known people in every branch of the service and the AF folks seem to have the best time of it. That said, Army deployments are now a standard 9-month tour with no R&R leave, which for families is an improvement on the 12- or 15-month stretches, but the no leave policy sucks for the soldier. Depending on what sort of job you want, one branch or another may hold the ticket. I know far fewer people in the Navy or Marines. One hated the Navy so bad she went AWOL and got scooped up by U.S. marshals. The Marines I've known have unfortunately been people I disliked (which *isn't* linked to their being Marines, just awful human beings- plenty in all branches) so I never really chit-chatted about what life in the Corps was like for them. Best of luck in choosing!!

I vote Air Force, for a couple reasons, first I'm active duty Air Force and absolutely love it! Two you have to have higher test scores to go in the air force and we do a lot of technical jobs and the quality of life is great! They treat their people great and well you can still have a life outside your job. Go Air Force!!

My husband is a Marine. Don't let him go with them! From my experiences compared with friends, tell him to go Air Force. Besides, Army and Marines are cutting troop numbers by thousands in the near future.

My husband is a marine. They have insane pride haha ! It does depend on what he wants to do though...army and marines are more combat based and air force and navy are more I guess...not combat lol. The marines have been good for us but the separations haven't been the easiest and sometimes I feel they don't really care about the families..but they have also shocked us !! Any marine will tell you they are the best branch but really I think they all have pros and cons
